Aesthetically the Apple headphones look unique, but the Bose headphones are much lighter. The Apple headphones are very comfortable to wear, but they’re also very conspicuous when worn outside. We find both to be very stylish in their own way. You also get a USB-C connection and a 3.5mm jack.

There are physical buttons for power, Bluetooth pairing or waking the voice assistant, while a third on the left ear cup cycles through noise cancellation presets. Touch controls are included, with the right ear cup home to taps and swipes for playback, volume and track skipping. They need to placed flat in the hard carry case. Like the AirPods Max, one of the biggest downsides is that they’re not collapsible. They’re not available in as many colours – Black, Luxe Silver and Triple Midnight – the third colourway a revolving door of limited edition finishes (it was Soapstone earlier in 2020). The Max weigh 385g compared to the NC Headphones 700’s 250g. The Bose headphones are, we feel, just as stylish. The Smart Case is available for stowing away the headphones away, but it’s the weakest aspect of the AirPods Max as it doesn’t offer great protection. The headphones come in five distinctive colours that includes pink and green. The Noise Control button on the other side of the (left) earcup switches between ANC and Transparency Mode. It’s basically a multi-function dial for the volume, playback, skipping tracks, activating Siri and taking/ending phone calls and having the physical feedback works well. There are no touch controls, with operation done via the Apple Watch-inspired Digital Crown. The shape of the headband allows the AirPods Max to fit a wider range of head shapes and sizes, and in our testing it distribute the weight across the head well, making it very comfortable to wear. With the slightly oval shape to the earcups, they remind us a bit of the Oppo PM-1 headphones (which were double the price in 2014).
Going for a very distinctive profile, the headband uses a breathable knit mesh canopy to distribute weight across the head and reduce pressure. It’s a rather easy win for Bose, especially considering that they’re almost half the price of the Apple headphones.ĪirPods Max vs Bose NC Headphones 700 - DesignĪpple’s AirPods Max are one part headphone and another part fashion accessory.

#BOSE 700 VS AIRPODS MAX SERIES#
While Bose is an experienced head in the noise cancelling market, delivering the QuietComfort series and the Nosie Cancelling Headphones range, the AirPods Max are Apple’s first ever attempt at over-ear headphones. With the AirPods Max, Apple has unveiled its rival. Bose launched its follow-up to the QC 35 II in the summer of 2019 with the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, offering the same Bose ANC and music performance that we’ve come to appreciate.
